I don’t know, isn’t just about any term about sex a euphemism? Even your “sexual intercourse” example is derived from calling sex a “conversation” rather than “he inserted his penis into her vaginal canal repeatedly until he insemitated her”. Since we know all agree what “slept with” means in our culture, it is just…

So... Biden has now come out and said he does NOT support any such ban, and the CPSC just released a statement that they are not pursuing any such action. That did not take long. So this one goes back into the closet until some future administration decided to take it back up.

Um, good for you, I guess?

Dude. I don’t “dislike” the term. I have known my share of Karens. But it went from essentially “Racist white women who butted their nose in other people’s shit.” to “sort of anyone who you don’t agree with”.

Admittedly, if you rent, you are pretty much stuck with what you get. Part of what you need to understand when looking for a place.

Mine is not either, but the previous owner had installed a stovetop downvent, and I went ahead and installed a hood not long after I moved in for not THAT much.

But these advantages are hardly material for the average home cook

Good lord. It is pretty simple what this was about. No one should be retaliated against for kneeling in protest, and no one should be retaliated against for refusing to kneel. And no (to another commenter), refusing to kneel does not make her a “karen”, that term has lost all meaning.

Sure, I don’t disagree. But I was mostly thinking about the people discussing that the kid is too young to be tried as an adult and what they are going to charge him with. In the end, I agree there needs to be some form of intervention for the kid, but I think the actual convictions will be for the parents.

It’s unclear if or how the child will be prosecuted, but that may be possible if the chief can prove his actions were intentional.

Yes! Thanks for putting your finger on it. Its the classic “I have an idea, but if I don’t drape some known IP on it no one is going to show up.”

I just took it as “Look, we are being clever. So much so that we think we need to spell it out. Really loudly because you might not see the cleverness.”

Killed it for me right there.

The number of black players and black coaches lining up to say how stupid this thesis is seems to be growing pretty quickly.

He is the most pathetic, whiney-ass baby in history. “I killed two dozen Afghan fighters and did not feel it, just knocking down chess pieces.” But... “my brother knocked me over into the dog bowl and my butt hurt”, “my dick got really cold”, “that older woman took my virginity and rode me like the stallion that I…

The problem is that the Wisconsin Old Fashioned is a weird bird. It includes cherry juice and Sprite (or something similar). Hence the mix to add those flavors. That said, it is nothing like a traditional Old Fashioned. At all.

Well the “so what” is the fact that as the fad dies down, there is not enough economics to maintain that recent availability of such foods.

Really weird article. That roast looks just fine. That is what they look like (or maybe a little more done if you prefer).

I love the exchange at the end of that scene:

So... this only makes sense, right? They came in, killed all the stuff they did not like, and going forward stuff they make is stuff they wanted to make.

That seems like a bit of a stretch. I live in the very liberal SF bay area. Basically everyone I know is way on the left of the aisle. I was not that big a fan of the first one so was not planing on going the second, but they were all going on and on about how I should really check it out and how fun it was.
